Chotto Matte Kudasai

Chotto matte kudasai

Please excuse me while I cry

Seems sayonara means goodbye

But no one ever told me why

 

Sakura was in the spring

When our hearts found songs to sing

But Sakura has gone away

And so has our love, so they say

 

 *Chotto matte kudasai

   Please excuse me while I cry

   Without your love I would die

   Please don't leave me kudasai

 

 *chorus

 

...Please never say goodbye
